It's tough to know where to start with a review for Alex of XO Moreau because everything she touches turns to gold, as in the most vibrantly beautiful, well-designed and expertly organized event you've ever attended. We started working with Alex in late 2019 and by early 2020 she supported us logistically and emotionally as we chose to bump our wedding one year from 2021 to 2022. We were so appreciative of our her calm and understanding as we navigated tough decisions at this time.

When we came back together to plan our April 2022 wedding, I was anxious and excited for Alex to make our colorful, fun, spring design come to life. She more than delivered. She understood the vision and vibe perfectly. Alex remained mindful of our budget by picking out design elements with the biggest pop and bang for your buck. While I loved her execution of my personal ideas, I was most impressed with her creativity, the elements that really make an XO Moreau event extra special -- unique twists on traditional details and unexpected entertainment that helped us create a memorable event.

When our wedding day finally came, Alex was exactly the calm that we all needed. She had every small detail under control and did it all with ease. She cares deeply about her wedding couples and ensures their day is even better than in their dreams. And she even makes time to attend to the smallest of details like blowing leaves away from the front door guest entrance -- she is on top of every small detail! I should also add that her excitement and joy is infectious in the best way, throughout the entire planning process -- she is as invested in your day as you are, genuinely excited to help you bring it all together, and every step of the way her positivity squashed my anxieties and gave me the confidence to focus on myself and my partner on our wedding day.

Alex also cares deeply about her vendor relationships and has the best recommendations who can come together seamlessly to make your special day perfect. If I had the budget I would choose XO Moreau 100 more times, for every birthday and big event still to come in life, because her ideas are the epitome of a fun-filled, blow-your-mind beautiful, wildly creative celebration that brings joy to everyone in attendance. Best wedding planner in Austin, hands down.

I want to be Alex when I grow up. She is SO on top of it and has absolutely found her calling. She is the head sheriff in the wild, wild west of weddings and is honestly such a vibe.

Her eye for detail is incredible and the ideas she brought to the table were absolutely sick!!! Beyond ideas, she made it so easy to execute and connect with the right vendors to make our dream wedding come to life.

Alex is THE GAL you want in your corner. We so appreciate you, Alex!

From our initial call with Alex to saying good night after the reception, we never once faltered in our decision to work with her. She is funny, kind, diligent and truly one of the best people to have around you in a time that can be hectic and overwhelming.

As with any wedding there were personal ups and downs during the whole process, ie. family issues, budgeting roadblocks, global pandemic, etc. but not once did I stress about how they would affect the actual wedding day. We just knew that XO Moreau would be there to game plan with us and make it work.

She nailed our aesthetic preferences and style in one shot and made it come to life in a way that we still can't believe. Our wedding was beautiful and perfect and magical and whimsical and everything we wanted it to be. All of Alex's vendor recommendations were an absolute hit and people told us over and over again how it seemed to be the perfect representation of “us.” (Which is really just a testament to how much of an effort Alex made to get to know us.)

At the end of the evening we could honestly say that if anything went wrong or was out of place, we had no idea. We can look back at the day and night and truly say it was perfect.

I will forever tell people that the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was hiring Alex and the team at XO Moreau. So if you can, do it!

Hiring Alex was easily the best decision we made in the wedding planning process! As soon as we had our first meeting, I knew she would be able to design and execute our dream day. She was beyond amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! I’m really not sure how we could’ve made it through everything without her. She made the planning and design process so easy and actually fun! I can’t thank her for enough for her patience as I asked a million questions. We got so many comments from guests all night about how smooth the day was and we didn’t feel stressed at all. The design came out perfect and we had so much fun. If we could do it all over again we would 100% have Alex plan it all!

Alex is amazing, full stop. We considered hiring a coordinator for month-of services only, and can I say, Alex's design+coordination package was amazing. She put together the wedding of our dreams, with DETAILED instructions on how to implement everything. Seriously everything. She then took over in last minute details with vendors starting two months out. She took all the stress of the little last minute questions others had - I just directed them her way. I can not recommend XO Moreau enough.

Alex is so, so incredible at what she does. We used Alex for day-of coordination and design, where she truly went above and beyond.

It was an easy decision to use Alex for design services as I struggled with picturing my ideas coming together in real life. The design board(s) Alex created were organized and well thought out. She listened to my feedback while encouraging me to branch out. I am so incredibly thankful for her creativity and willingness to collaborate, as she helped make the ambiance and “vibe” of my wedding better than I could have ever imagined.

As for day-of coordination, planning a wedding is not easy; add a pandemic on top of that, it can get really interesting. I cannot think of a better person than Alex to have on your wedding team, as her genuine kindness, positive energy, and confidence helped alleviate any and all anxiety I had during the whole process, especially when it started to pour minutes prior to the ceremony starting.

My wedding could not have been what it was without Alex. I, along with my now-husband and family, are forever grateful for her!

I can't say enough AMAZING things about Alex. She made my wedding planning a breeze and I actually could not have done it without her. Her vibe is very calm and even when I was being Bridezilla (which was often) she very calmly helped/fixed the problem and left me wondering why I was freaking out. Her design board was 100% my style and my wedding was absolutely perfect and everything I wanted & more. Also-I really wanted a mechanical bull for my wedding and couldn't find one anywhere and she got me one in one day. I LOVE HER AND YOU WILL TOO!

Where do I even start?! Alex definitely had me with “the chillest wedding planner you will ever meet” – but after Instagram stalking her gorgeous, unique designs and exchanging some very friendly messages, I knew I needed to hire XO Moreau Weddings to help plan our big day! Her guidance started with helping us figure out what level of service we needed! We ultimately went with the Design & Coordination package and am so thankful I had Alex not only for day-of coordination but to bring our wedding vision to life. I knew I wanted a modern, minimalist design but thanks to Alex, we added plenty of “funky and fun” elements to make our day feel very special and very us.

We had the pleasure of working with Alex for 21 months, as we had a mid-2020 date that we ultimately decided to postpone to 2021 due to COVID-19 risks. For our initial planning and design, Alex nailed what we were looking for, including all the details I didn’t even think to incorporate, in an initial design board + email that laid out exactly what I needed to do to lock in our vendors. Her recommendations for vendors were amazing, as she knows who to work with based on your design and vibe!

Looking back, postponing our wedding was nowhere near as stressful or hectic as I would have thought, only because Alex was there with us for every decision and laid out exactly what I should do and when to move our date and update all of our contracts. Not only that, she totally rolled with some of the design changes I wanted to incorporate as we approached our new date and handled all of the rental and décor comms to make it happen. If you can tend to be indecisive like me, Alex is the perfect mix of chill +understanding yet decisive to nudge you towards just getting things done. Purple is officially my favorite color 💜

Finally, if you have a first-time officiant I totally recommend securing Alex for your rehearsal as well! She calmed what little nerves Jake + I had leading up to our ceremony, and was the kick of confidence I needed to go for a bolder bridal entrance – I can’t wait to get our photos back to re-live our design and our day.

If you’re still reading this… GO LOCK ALEX IN NOW! You will have a stress-free, beautiful wedding day with a kick-ass team by your side :) -Michelle & Jake

Alex and the XO Moreau team were wonderful. We used XO Moreau for day of coordination (starting 2 months out) and initial design services. Alex helped us distill our wedding vision and prepared a beautiful design board that guided us through the rest of our planning process until she took over again. Aside from generally being wonderfully kind and professional, Alex was a go-to for any questions along the way and one of our biggest sources of excitement and support. On the day of our wedding, she arrived and took charge of everything; I didn't have to lift a finger. Many of my family members later told me how impressed they were with Alex's ability to help and take care of each and every detail of the day.

Overall, XO Moreau was a fantastic addition to our wedding team and a very key part to helping our day be full of joy and next-level celebration! It was a ceremony and party for the books and we are so grateful to Alex and her team!

Alex is simply incredible. She is the kindest, most laid-back, fun wedding planner you will ever meet. But with that being said, she knows how to get things done. We hired Xo Moreau Weddings for her design & coordination package, and I would highly suggest you do the same! I had a vague vision and color scheme in my head, and Alex created a 28 page, detailed design board that brought each and every aspect of our wedding to life on paper, from the ceremony site to the sign in table. She gave us specific options for items and decor that were either easily available online, or through local Austin vendors. This made securing/finding rentals super easy, she essentially did it for us! Her attention to detail and unique ideas really brought the wedding to a different level. For example, she suggested we have a specialty drink display table outdoors during cocktail hour, with pansy flowers in each glass. This ended up being one of my favorite details of the entire evening. Alex was also a huge support during the last month before our wedding... working hard to work out issues and logistics, finalize our timeline and other details that we would have been struggling with (and majorly worrying about) without her. The guides she gives you makes nailing down day-of details simple. Her communication is stellar & was always keeping me in the loop, as well as answering all my silly questions, lol. Oh also, she helped us plan this event in under six months!

Honestly, if you're getting married in the Austin area you absolutely can't go wrong with Alex. The wedding she helped us design was absolutely magical, and encompassed everything I wanted and more. Me and my husband both agree that it was the best evening of our lives... everything was absolutely perfect. Alex, THANK YOU for creating such a beautiful day for both of us. - With love, the Huttons
